[Pacemaker] stonith question

[Phil Armstrong]

Hi,

I have a 2 node cluster with stonith disabled:

        <nvpair id="cib-bootstrap-options-stonith-enabled" 
name="stonith-enabled" value="false"/>             

This is on an x86_64 liux system. I was having trouble getting a system 
dump. I would drop into kdb, then enter kdump. The dump process would 
appear to initiate, then it would hang, and then the machine would 
reboot itself as if it had been stonith'd. This was when I had both 
nodes active in the HA cluster.

I stopped openais on both nodes and I was able to get all the darn 
system dumps I wanted. But before that (when openais was on) I could 
find no evidence in the logs of the node that remained up that it had 
decided to shoot the node doing the kdump, and of course once I dropped 
into kdb there was no evidence of anything in that node's log.

My question is is there ever any situation with stonith disabled that a 
node would shoot either itself or another node in the cluster. I can get 
an hb_report if someone thinks that would be helpful, but for now I'm 
just posing the above question.

Thanks.

Phil
